My first thought about this thread was "this will be a bit dull"..but actually it's more interesting than it should be by rights.

I'm a school teacher.

Previous jobs include, scaffolder, van driver, retail (mens wear and ladies wear...yes, I can use the line 'I worked in ladies underwear :-D , it's always good for a laugh) security guard (once did an event with Charles and Di when they had a banquet with the Saudi royal family) I've also run the education program for a Premiership football club and a County Cricket Club, van driver, insulating contractor, Santa in a department store (awful job, the uniform was nylon and unpleasant to wear), maintenance in a factory, production line in a brewery (and we could drink pretty much anytime of the day so long as we didn't get caught by the bosses) , foundry labourer, and other assorted jobs over the years.

I work as a technology relationship manager for a financial services company. I notice there are a good representation of techies in this bunch. Nice to know I'm in good company. After staring at computer monitors on a daily basis, it's soul-mending to be able to see green slopes and turn your aggression towards a small dimpled ball.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
